With “G.B.F.,” playing in the Spotlight section of the Tribeca Film Festival, the director Darren Stein heads back to school. His 1999 film “Jawbreaker” used the high school setting as the backdrop for darkly comic and vicious shenanigans, with a candy-colored production design and nods to other teen movies of the ’80s and ’90s. “G.B.F.” also offers a heightened, glossier and more colorful version of high school, but with a lighter touch.
